Squash had done its homework in preparation for the 2020 Olympics bid – including hiring bid guru Mike Lee and his consulting firm Vero to lobby the bid, fully embracing innovation and change, and sending a fantastic team to present the case to the International Olympic Committee (IOC) during its 125th session in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on Sunday.
